actives of the deadly chemical agent orange of renewed calls for the u.s. government to acknowledge its toxic legacy. and the most wanted doppelganger a new bollywood comedy featured in a summer bin ladin look at like his band in pakistan r t meets the leading man. hello nine pm here in moscow this is r.t. it will welcome if you just joined us this hour kevin now in syria with the top stories for you and first french police have charged three ethnic chechens with conspiring with terrorists russia says they belong to the group led by infamous militant leader dr ahmad off was responsible for a number of terrorist acts including the attack on the moscow metro in march this year our european correspondent joins us live from the details laura what do we know about those charges down there suspected links to this terrorist group. well

the latest news kevin is the officials are preparing to fly to paris in connection with the arrest of three potential chechen terrorists we're hearing reports that french police have charged those three four in fact were arrested one was released without charge and these three have been charged with conspiring with terrorists now france says that they are links to various names terrorist organizations but russia maintains links with doku umarov who of course is one of russia's most wanted man he's one of the most notorious terrorist still at large in connection with russia perpetrated the self-proclaimed perpetrator of the bombings in march and also has links to al qaida now a source says that one of those who was arrested in western france was in contact with somebody who made regular phone calls to joe cool moderate so there is a connection between them there and that in turn suggest that these men could have

been part of the planning for march's moscow metro bombings during the search of the flat where these three men were living police found firearms explosives and also particularly significantly more scary with various potential attack targets marks on it this arrest is really significant for three reasons firstly of course it makes the world a safer place just in general there is a hard and fast evidence that these three men were conspiring to perpetrate attacks in russia and possibly elsewhere in the world also it is an important cooperation between russia and the french authorities the french police made these arrests and brought these charges following a tip from the russian authorities russia said to france there are you know there are these three chechens living in western france you should move in and have a look at what they're doing so that suggests that two countries are working together to minimize the terrorist threat also traditionally chechens and north

caucasus. wrists have been seen by the rest of the world as separatists people who are fighting for the independence of their region from the rest of russia but now with the rest like these that view is really falling out of favor it shows more that terrorists who commit acts on russian terror on the russian territory are just as much a part of the global islamic terror threats as as terrorists who committed atrocities elsewhere now europe continues to cooperate in hunting terrorists who are responsible for attacks all over the world including in russia and this is not the first set of arrests that's been made in the european union in april the way a twenty year old woman was arrested she pleaded guilty to planning to go to chechnya and act as a suicide bomber and then following that arrest in russia the people who were conspiring with her to help her with her travel plans they were also arrested so

that's another example of of international cooperation between between two countries and also an example of what has become an international network you should logically belong to dr more of turn network tell us briefly a little more about him if you would remind us. well the whole model of is a chechen terrorists he calls himself the leader of the caucasus emirates and he recently was declared by the u.s. as a sort of a global terrorist they called him part of a radical jihadist movement which poses a threat to the u.s. so he's been recognized as being more of a global terrorist with links to al qaeda that was shortly before president met yesterday to the states he's one of now the most wanted man in operating in the north caucasus region he not only claimed responsibility for the mattress acts in march but russian officials think that he's been responsible for a wide range of attacks and he's been visible and operating since the one nine

hundred ninety s. in many cases in many attacks and bombings these three arrests in france would seem to be a hole in his network really so we're hoping that this will possibly lead to more or a european correspondent or one from london thank you. it's more than three months since the deadly plane crash in the small and screeching killed polish president lech kaczynski and many of the country's top officials the russian investigation is being completed but rumors and conspiracy theories remain that's despite the fact that polish authorities declared themselves satisfied with the findings of his really good report. the sounds of this crash were heard around the world when the plane carrying polish president lech kaczynski and ninety five other state officials came down and smolensk region killing on board russian poland united in mourning. moscow showed it was willing to go out of their way to make sure

investigation went openly and swiftly but some took the tragedy a lot more personally than others the progress of the investigation is to say the least minimal it is stalled polish investigators have received important documents and was happen for mushy it this situation causes suspicion however specialists in flight safety see no flaw with the conduct of the investigation they didn't have to cough in the corners because really the causes for this accident were very straightforward by which i mean that it's the kind of accident which has happened many many times in this tree of aviation it is the most common type of fatal accident in aviation history i think possibly. some polish people would have said look accident investigations take two years how are they so sure that they have got the answer after only a matter of months those who worked with russian investigation teams say laying the

blame on them is not fair. there was in essence a joint investigation underway which i think was very wise sides so i know that there have been an ongoing series of conversations and efforts because we do need to understand what happened to their place so where does the doubt in the transparency of the investigation and the causes of the crash come from some believe politics could be playing their feet. are fond of believing that it was russian factor and that the second major. major factor is that there is a strong media coverage on this issue and there is a political fight between parties using this crash as it often goes it was a tragedy that broke the ice between two people the chance to talk about moscow in warsaw closer than they've been in decades and now that relationship will have to

government has the reason to deny it. which is why delegations are here in washington following a report issued by lawmakers scientists and doctors calling on the u.s. government to own up to its agent orange legacy in vietnam today also people will stand me government records show nearly ninety five percent of all u.s. agent orange related aid is committed to efforts to contain and remove dioxin contamination we asked to just a stronger on the victims those fighting for justice in the case of vietnamese agent orange victims want the physical and psychological damages to be acknowledged . the dark legacy left behind by the u.s. in vietnam is one with millions of human face. their struggle three decades in the making will not end with money from the u.s. government but it could ease the pain the u.s. has been ignoring scented dumped a month sent to manufactured agent orange n.d.s. jungles jan hoffer's r t washington d.c.

lardner lookalike the film is released on friday in asia and europe but pakistani censors are worried that the comic portrayal of the world's most wanted man could trigger terrorist attacks artie's car and saying we the people behind the indian film and asks if the world really ready for post nine eleven. this could well be the biggest scoop of my career interviewing the world's most wanted terrorist however this man does not have a twenty five million dollar reward on his head in fact he's not osama bin laden but an actor in a bollywood bin ladin or without you lot in but just in case you think this is a movie glorifying a terrorist it is a. biography it's a film which is set out on the post nine eleven world of which bin laden happens to be a very very important character and this is a fair number of feet bin laden and that's how you're using it's not insensitive or

offensive in any way and anybody from any part of the world is going to enjoy this from i can guarantee you that it's american comedy set in pakistan where a young journalist is fixated with going to america and he decided to stick it to get there is an interview with osama bin laden so he goes about creating a fake. using the lookalike. they had to keep the twenty five year old actor under wraps to prevent making the film. i had gone to shopping mall in noida to promote this film and there was a commotion there a crowd of more than one hundred people gathered so we're following in this time pete i was scared you might attack me but nothing like that happened they wanted to shake my hand and take my autograph so i signed with love a summer. elisa for who plays the journalist is a pakistani singer and this is did you film how does it feel acting in an indian

film set in pakistan in pakistan bollywood films are greatly appreciated be seen. people enjoy them so i mean to see a pakistani in a bollywood film something very refreshing and new for them but pakistan's firm censors have banned the movie saying it mocks security agencies. and screening it in public could trigger violence the film's distributors in pakistan call it a message of peace and not appealing the ban but i thought it was a nice film there's a lot of good humor from the name it sounds like a serious film but actually it turned out quite different it's full of great jokes . definitely quite a good film people will definitely like it mind vice to them is to come and watch it and they will like it there's nothing here that will incite people to smile and . the selling point of this film is osama bin laden but it's very tongue in cheek. to act the part in the movie i challenge you america there will be retribution

holding just an evil actions you have committed in the countries like iraq and afghanistan so these you will have to pay a heavy price when i first heard about this film i thought it was going to be a glorification of terrorists but actually it's quite irrelevant subtile in the way pakistanis and muslims are looked at with suspicion in the west today and how the media could be fooled into believing something that doesn't exist i think this film could do well in south asia but western audiences would probably be a good sense of humor to appreciate the message got and see r.t. . when used today the mongolian president said a dive into the world's deepest lake aboard a state of the art many sub made him feel like a spaceman you visited lake baikal in siberia and went below the surface on a russian scientific research vessel that was used in fact during the filming of a blockbuster movie titanic those years back the vessel was also the first submersible to perform and to descend to the seabed of the north pole like by call
